Shredder Machine VS Crusher Machine
vs 
For people who are new to the plastic recycling industry, it is easy to confuse plastic shredders and plastic crushers, but they are different, and there is a big difference between the two.
The shredder works by putting waste materials into the shredding chamber inside the machine, and then reducing the size of the material by cutting and squeezing. The thickness of the tool and the number of claws can be changed according to different materials. When shredding hollow materials, it can be equipped with a press device to increase production, and a rotating screen can be added to control the discharge size.
The crusher works through a heavy hammer or high-speed rotating blade and other devices, so that it quickly stressed to achieve the purpose of crushing equipment.
The main application areas are domestic waste crushing, vegetable market waste crushing, medical waste crushing, RDF fuel crushing, industrial waste crushing, hazardous waste crushing, animal crushing, destruction crushing, organic waste crushing, paper mill rope crushing, etc., generally processing relatively fine or unprocessed raw materials and scraps, in order to reduce the size of the material.
When the shredder handles the material, it usually shred the material into small pieces by cutting and tearing, which is suitable for denser materials. The plastic shredder correspondingly occupies some advantages in the scope of processing materials, because the torque of the plastic shredder is very low, so whether it is hard ABS waste plastic, or very soft film plastic, it can achieve a good crushing effect.
Crusher is adapted to the material is mainly wood, small brittle material, because the crushed particles are small, so the output of the crusher is low, and the use of shredder, equipped with a screen, shredding particles can be adjusted according to the screen. The crusher uses grinding and impact to crush the material into fine particles, which is suitable for more brittle materials.
The effect of the two devices on the treatment of materials is not the same. The material treated by the crusher is relatively small and uniform, but the sound is larger in the processing process, and it is easy to produce dust. The shredder has a better reprocessing effect on reusable substances, and the generation of dust and noise is reduced in the processing process.
The advantage of the shredder is that it has a wide range of application, whether it is hard plastic or large volume plastic, it can be torn and the output is high. Low noise and no dust. The shredding size is generally 1-8CM, and the shredding size can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the blade.
The advantage of the shredder is that the waste screen can be processed into uniform fine particles, and the shredding size is generally less than 1 cm. The disadvantage is that for some hard plastics or large-volume plastics, the efficiency and output of the mill will be reduced, the noise of the mill will be greater, and there will be dust generated during the crushing process.
Shredders and crushers are widely used in the field of plastic recycling, their processing methods and scope of application are slightly different. In actual use, the appropriate equipment should be selected according to the characteristics and processing requirements of the material.
